Summer holidays in Namibia
A few days ago, it rained in Namibia for the first time in a long time; not everywhere, but in Omaruru it was at least 20mm. Relief and hope that the rainy season will continue in January and February.
Advent bazaar helps 21 students in Namibia
Women from Pfedelbach and the Jagst Valley put many creative ideas into practice for Advent and organized an Advent bazaar to benefit the Namibia Support Association. Many unique and handcrafted art pieces were offered to the public in the old schoolhouse in Oberhöfen. Over coffee, mulled wine, punch, cake, and Namibian sausage, many people from Pfedelbach and the surrounding area came to get into the Advent spirit and purchase items for themselves or as gifts.
The women spent many hours crafting and preparing items, all for people in need in Namibia. Every purchase made at the bazaar, whether for food, drink, or to buy something handcrafted, supported the diverse projects in Okombahe and Windhoek.
The net proceeds were overwhelming! With the €2100, we can support 21 underprivileged students in the coming school year. For approximately €100, we can provide a young person with accommodation in a student residence for a year and also give them a new school uniform, shoes, and a new school bag.

THANKS
They visited us at the beer village at the Namibia Support Association!
Did you drink Windhoek Lager or Dju-Dju Beer or a Rock Shandy? Did you try the delicious Namibian sausage "Boerewors" and the cornmeal porridge "Miliepap" with spicy or sweet sauce?
If YES, you have supported the needy Black population in Namibia. Thanks to you, we made a profit of over 1000 euros. This entire profit goes directly to the village of Okombahe, including the soup kitchen and the further development of the children's environment, or to the two school projects to help needy parents pay for their children's education.
Thank you so much for your food and drinks!

Easter in Namibia
Margret Knoche has been in Namibia alone for the Namibia Support Association for a week and a half now. For five days, she lived very simply with Albertina, the manager of the soup kitchen in Okombahe, and made many connections with the local people. She knows from previous years that it's beneficial to live alone with people in their homes for an extended period. This gives her unique insights into their lives, which are invaluable for the further development of the association's projects. She writes of the openness of the people towards her – quite different from when she arrives in a larger group.
